This mailing list is primarily for Debian developers to discuss how to build/develop/contents of the Debian installation CDs and problems with them. It's not, strictly, a Linux user list except in so far as it relates to Debian CDs.
Lindows was renamed to Linspire some time ago following trademark and naming problems. It was, initially, a commercial Linux distribution based on Debian but with a different bias: to produce a commercial, user-friendly distribution with limited choice for novice users and those who just wanted Linux to work. Linspire is now based on Ubuntu, itself a Debian-based distribution. For details of any co-operation between them, may I respectfully refer you to the Canonical Partner Programme at http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/programmetracks or to Canonical Ltd at http://www.canonical.com/contact or http://www.canonical.com/webtolead Linspire is commercial: it will cost you of the order of US$59.95 (or $49.95 for a digital download. There is a free version of Linspire called, somewhat unsurprisingly, Freespire which includes fewer commercial software packages and is apparently more Open Source compatible. It is available in two versions: the default version does offer the choice to allow users to install proprietary multimedia codecs and other applications that Debian would not consider as being free enough by Debian's own guidelines. There is also an OSS version. Freespire is free to download: can I refer you to www.linspire.com or www.freespire.org for further details. None of the above are Debian, though all are ultimately Debian derived. If I, or anyone else on the list, can help you further with Debian Linux queries or installation please feel free to ask, though possibly the more appropriate mailing list would be debian-user@lists.debian.org Thank you for your inquiry, Hope this helps, Andy > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
